Hey There Lonely Girl
John Robert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me make your broken heart like new
Oh, my lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you
Ever since he broke your heart you seem so lost
Each time you pass my way
How I long to take your hand
Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Oh my lonely girl, lonely girl
don't you know this lonely boy loves you
You think that only his two lips can kiss your lips
And make your heart stand still
But once you're in my arms you'll see
No one can kiss your lips the way I will
Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Oh, my lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely girl loves you
Oh my lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you
The song "Hey There Lonely Girl" by John Robert is a ballad that expresses the yearning of the singer towards the girl who seems lost and heartbroken, following her recent breakup with her boyfriend. The songs convey his desire to make her feel loved again and make her broken heart whole. He offers to heal her pain with his love, claiming that he is the only one who can wipe away her tears and make her feel happy again.
The lyrics suggest that the girl is still holding onto the memories of her ex-boyfriend, thinking that he is the only one who can give her what she needs. The singer suggests that this is not true, that his love is stronger and has the power to make her whole again. He paints himself as the savior and protector of the lonely girl, who needs someone to rescue her from her pain and sadness.
Interestingly, the song is not just about the singer's desire to be with the girl, but also about his belief in his ability to make her feel better. He is not just asking her to be with him, but he is also promising to make a difference in her life, to fix it and give her the love that she deserves. In a way, the song is a reflection of the singer's own confidence, his belief in his worth, and his hope for a better life.
